New Drivers

[FormerlyCyberCy]

I’m playing w a Taylor Made that’s 5-6 years old. Who has bought a new driver in the last year? Buddy got the new Callaway Rogue and loves it. Says it hard to hit a bad shot w it or the matching 4 wood.

Sorry, I thought this thread was about teenagers
who just got their first driver's license.

Anybody who says it's hard to hit a bad shot with any club is an effing liar.

Could I interest you in a set of Bobby... never mind, wrong board.

My Callaway FT-5 (Circa 2008) couldn't be outdone by any new driver I came across prior to the Callaway Epic (it was long enough and very straight). The epic beat it in decisive fashion, so that's what I have now (Equally straight, longer). I hit the rogue vs. my Epic using trackman in a simulator, and they were pretty much dead even. I've not hit the Epic Flash or the new Taylor Made's. However, when I'm getting 270+ off the tee, it's time for me to focus on other areas.

Pick up an Epic off of CallawayGolfPreowned.com and hit it for a bit to see if you like it. I think you get 30 days to send it back for a full refund (maybe only 2 weeks, can't remember).

Here's an interesting side note though. I got the off the rack Callaway XR 3 wood, and I can get 250-260 off the deck with it. I found a good deal on the epic 3 wood, and was maxing out at 247-250 with it, so I sold it on Ebay. My bag looked cooler with it in there, but the performance just wasn't there.

It's all about the shaft (that's what she said).

P.S. to my above comment, since I see you have a 5-6 year old taylormade. I Had a Taylor made Superfast 2.0 as well as a Taylor made R11S (purchased both used), but couldn't make either out-perform the old FT-5. The EPIC of course did outperform those for me. The R11s performed similarly to the FT-5, but no marked difference to entice me to replace the FT-5. If I had the R11s first, I'd have kept it over the FT-5, since they were similar.

Furthermore, I have a Fujikura Pro 62 Green Optifit shaft in my 2017 Epic Sub Zero. Love it.

Hey callaway pre-owned has 30% off pre-owned Rogue Drivers and Fairway woods now. You could get both for around $300: https://www.callawaygolfpreowned.com/golf-clubs/drivers/drivers-2018-rogue.html.

If you haven't bought from them before, I recommend choosing a "very good" or "Like New" condition, they're in excellent shape.
